Trump declares victory in 2024 Presidential race, citing ‘Historic Mandate’

Washington: Republican Donald Trump declared victory in the 2024 presidential race early Wednesday after Fox News projected he had defeated Democrat Kamala Harris, marking a dramatic return to the White House four years after his departure.

Speaking to an enthusiastic crowd at the Palm Beach County Convention Center, Trump claimed a “historic mandate” from voters. “America has given us an unprecedented and powerful mandate, and we made history tonight for a reason,” he said, standing alongside his vice-presidential candidate, Senator J.D. Vance.
